My Mobo/CPU setup.. HELP PLS

[OPTIMOOSE]

Im trying to get this new system up and running.. But I am unsure of a few things..

Just bought a AMD 3000+ 64bit with a K8 Triton Gigabyte Board I am unaware of the Frequency at which I can set my Mobo up to run with it. A friend of mine said it was 333 - but i am unsure. (my case has about 6 fans) Can anyone confirm this for me? Also I bought a Asus geforce n6600gt 128 ddr3 graphics card, and i was told overclocking is possible? How is this done?

Thanks Again

Joe

Hey Joe, is this the board you have?:

There should be some type of model number after K8 Triton.

Oh, and hi! :wave:

Hey HPC, Hows it going.. my first post back..since well umm yeah.

Anyways I believe thats the mobo.. after work ill confirm it..

Actuallu i noticed that board only has 2 sata connections mine has 4.. I think mine might be one model up...

Hey that's cool, just get your model number posted and I'll see what information I can dig up. :)
I'll check back this evening.

Sorry Joe, I'm coming up empty handed. I did my usual google search, but couldn't find where anyone recommended what setting to use for the cpu.
I found the site for downloading the motherboard's manual if you need it.

The information is hard to find but ...

AMD Sempron 3000+ (Socket A)
Operating Frequency (MHz): 2000 MHz
Clock Multiplier: 12.0x
Nominal Voltage: 1.60 Volts
Maximum Diode Temperature: 90º C
L2 Cache: 512KB
FSB Frequency (MHz): 333 MHz

How to figure:
Clock Multiplier x FSB Frequency = Operating Frequency
12 x 166mhz(333) = 1992 (rounded up to 2000)

EDIT I had the links to the webpages where I found that info, but had to get off the computer quickly and can't find them again. They were on the AMD knowledge site though.

Im sporting a athlon 3000+64 bit ..

[Oscar(WCFD)]

That cpu runs the same as my AMD Athlon 64 3200+..2.0 GHz
The m/b should auto detect what the fsb and multiplier is, if not, the board should be set at 200 MHz x 10 = 2.0 GHz.

[OPTIMOOSE]

Thats what i thought oscar - isnt the 3000+ built the same as the 3200+? Its currently set at 200.

Ooops you are correct, seems like I read that the multiplier is locked at 10 for that chip. Like I said earlier, I had to get off quickly and didn't get to post all that I was going to post yesterday.

I did find that article again though:
